Interested in programming? Like to read about programming without seeing a constant flow of technology and political news into your proggit? That's what /r/coding is for. A pure discussion of programming with a strict policy of programming-related discussions.

As a general policy, if your article doesn't have a few lines of code in it, it probably doesn't belong here. However, things directly related to the actual process of programming - libraries, tools, and so on - are all okay, but please use discretion.

Java will not die any time soon, there's just too much stuff based on it. And it's not entirely broken language, so it's possible to fix it's shorcommings to make it actually usable. In it's present state it's no surprise people hate it.

However, if I had to bet, I'd put my money that COBOL will outlive Java...unfortunately
